RE: Best SEO practice to redirect affiliate link
Thank you Everett, good points!
I have opened another thread on this topic (I didn't expect you to reply on this old one!) where I am discussing about possible solutions for inbound affiliate links:
https://moz.com/community/q/affiliate-links-dilemma
It looks like my best solution would be to leave the way it is, maybe changing 301 redirects with 302? How would you suggest tackling this issue... or would you suggest just "ignoring" and leave the way we all have done, with a simple 301 redirect to the "clean" URL?
Thank you again.

RE: Best SEO practice to redirect affiliate link
Yes, thank you Everett, I read about that, and I agree with you that that would be a bullet-proof solution.
I wanted just to check if what Google states now days would actually work, I couldn't see that mentioned on this thread before. But looks like you'd agree with Google on that, right?
Thank you again!

RE: Best SEO practice to redirect affiliate link
I know this is a rather old thread, butI am wondering if anything is changed since this topic was discussed.
I see Google suggesting redirecting links to an intermediate page blocked by robots.txt to avoid schemes penalties:

Ideas on that?
